Beach or Bust

Playing around

Elephant Seal napping on the beach

Cooper asked "how'd the tractor get off the beach without a tire", Cameron tried to explain it washed up from a ship.

Time for some lunch. We found an Oysters in the 1/2 Shell Shack on the side of the road, but the kids opted for hot dog's and grilled cheese.

We spent Sunday at Point Reyes Beach (well, after our 1 hour detour when we realized we had no gas only to find out we had been less than a mile from a gas station...arrggh). It was beautiful. We ate lunch along the way and played at the beach. We had set out to tour a nearby lighthouse but found out due to whale watching season, a busy 3 day weekend is the wrong time to do that. Instead we walked the beach and enjoyed the waves.

In the bowl

Heading into the skate park to try out the boards for the first time.

Both of them in the bowl.

We hooked up with some of Cameron's friends and hit the skate park after school on Wednesday. It was their first time skateboarding. They are both getting the hang of it. Even some of the older kids at the park will stop and give some pointers. They were loving it and we went again yesterday after school and are headed there again this morning (once all the frost melts).

What 83 degrees?!

Wow, it was 83 degrees yesterday. Crazy! We decided to take advantage of it, threw some shorts on and went on bike ride.

Cool Tree


We just love this apple tree. It is so cool how all the other trees are so bare and this one still has these red apples on it. We pass this on our daily golf cart route and finally decided to snap some pix.

We found snow

Our friends daughter Shelby took the kids on a ride where we discovered snow. It was Cooper's first snow. The mountain in the background was beautiful with the snow cover.

Our attempt at a snowman...we called it a snowblob.

Seeing how far down the hill we could throw. I was getting a bit nervous one of them were gonna end up going down.

They were trying to peg me...good thing I had the better aim.


Ride Cameron, Ride



Cameron out enjoying his bike.
